KNOT NIGHT: Fri 7 March, 7.30pm, WYC
With an extensive background in industrial and theatre rigging, Peter Kalopsidiotis will share a fascinating journey about knots.
· Did you know the ‘Ashley Book of Knots’ contains over 3,800 different knots!
· How are knots used in crime detection …!?
· Did you know new knots are rare but occasionally invented
· Do you know the difference between Hawsers, Marlines and Ratlines?
Come join an informal and interactive evening; hear about ropes, their uses, histories, and learn a new knot or improve an old knot. Knots have played a very significant role in the development of man.
